Goldy was a good child and would try to do whatever her parents told her to but they could not truly prepare her in how to blend in. She thoughts, the way she walked and talked was just to alien to others.
Trueborn and Amelia had grown use to her oddities and since they could not change them, they accepted them. However they had forgot how cruel children could be to those who didn't fit in. Even to those who were kind, beautiful, or just think in a different way.
Goldy went with her father first to his office where he was rechecking injuries and patients that had been involved in the fight. The one that had been in the clinic or had been sleeping outside had been healed quite miraculously.
However even a year later those with small wounds or the burns from the monster blood had reoccurring problems even a year plus later. Goldy greeted them properly if a bit softly then showed them to a table. Her bright smile made their day.
When her father asked she gently held a hand, arm or leg in the position he asked for. After each area was done being treated he noticed that Goldy would gently blow on the wounds. This worried him a bit because most were abscesses.
When he was done for the day he suddenly remembered that most said his treatment felt like it was really going to work this time. Some even told him that they had felt little to no pain and thanked him quietly for letting them meet Goldy.
When he asked Goldy why she had blown on their wounds she laughed and said "of coarse to bless them with healing." Trueborn didn't know what to say to that so he just said many thanks for the hard work.
The next day Amelia took Goldy to the market and later to the school. At the market things went pretty well Amelia thought though her daughter changed out several things she had picked. In addition she asked her to get some things that only healers bought.
When asked why she needed them Goldy laughed and said, "it was a surprise for her loving parents." They would understand soon enough and she thought wait and see, till the baby kicks I won't tell.
When they got to the school and met the teachers Goldy was very polite but also very inquisitive. She explored every crack and cranny and asked about each locked area. When she saw the school had a pet bunny she let it free and signed to it .
After her strange exchange with the bunny she came back with tears in her eyes. When the teacher asked what was wrong, she told him the bunny said it was going to die soon. It wished to see her babies once again before she died.
She was crying because she could not help it because it was the call to return to the cycle. In addition she could not free it. because the school held it but she would ask them in her stead. The teacher, parents and students present did not know what to say so they said they would talk about it.
Even though said so innocently this was to lead to many misunderstandings and even more dire means would follow. By that night several rumors were spread and as they do twisted into more. The negative ones went from: she was a liar, a idiot, and even possible beast possessed. The only positive was the solders saying she was a angel of mercy who could take away pain.
A week later with various ruthless parents tongues wagging over half the schools children had already turned their backs to her. Her first day she was called names most which she didn't even know what they meant. Her food was stolen at lunch and the one that were not in the know were told even more vicious rumors. She could feel they fear, maliciousness, and anger but not why they felt that way.
The only saving grace was that she. when running home crying and confused came across a rather large boy who had been beaten severely by his father the night before. She forgot her hurt feelings as she felt his very real ones and followed the source to under a small bridge.
When Eric hear her footsteps approaching he said to go away, but that didn't stop her in the least. Slowly she went to his back that was covered by a bloody thin shirt, upon gently lifting it she saw the whip marks and bruises.
The boy jerked and tried to move away but the pain was to much as his broken and cracked bones seared through him into darkness he fell. She quietly and barely touched his back sending the prayer of healing into his body. With this severe of a injury usually it would cause pain which she could half mute fairly easily. His wounds were too extensive and even life threatening because she could feel the fever in infection setting in.
She knew he might not be able to withstand any more pain and so she took the pain of healing into her own body so as not to make him suffer more. Overall she was doing ok until she had to heal his internal injuries and broken bones. So she sent her power in with a quick blast to finish the job and then passed out because of its intensity.
Soon after the Eric came back slowly to consciousness and found a small girl beside him and his confusion increased. It was only then that he figured out he was moving and not just that but moving without pain. He marveled at how it felt to be completely pain free.
A moan from the young girl brought his attention back to her presents once again, he figured she was probably close to five or six years old. He didn't recognize her, and she, he would have remembered. Her eyes slowly opened until her golden eyes met his green ones.
His red hair flopped forward covering one eye as she pushed herself upwards and smiled, glad to see his pain was gone. "I glad I was able to help you. That pain even from a distance hurt my heart."
He was astounded and cynical for about two seconds until he realized she was the only possibility. He had felt as if it was magical, maybe it was and she was a angel come to earth to save him. However she had no wings or halo.
Slowly she got up and shook the grass from her dress then smiled his way once again and asked if he would like to go to her house for dinner. He could not even reply and just stood to follow and strangely he could smile as her small hand reached out for his.
